RE/SEARCH
RE/SEARCH is the Viburnum Bridge Foundation’s gateway to evidence-based collaboration. It connects our community of Ukrainian veterans with trusted researchers to deepen the world’s understanding of trauma, resilience, and recovery. Every study is ethically reviewed and participant-centered — designed to both respect and elevate the voices of those we serve.
Program Scope
01
Partnership Inquiry & Ethics Review
Researchers begin by submitting a brief proposal outlining their research goals, methodology, and ethical safeguards. Our internal team reviews each request with veteran advisors to ensure participant protection and relevance to community needs.
​
03
Study Execution & Support
We assist with scheduling, logistics, and optional integration of clinical oversight. Whether virtual or in-person, our coordination ensures a respectful and seamless research experience for all involved.
​
​
02
Access & Community Engagement
Once approved, researchers may gain access to anonymised data sets or engage directly with veterans via interviews, questionnaires, or focus groups — always under informed consent. We provide facilitation support to ensure clarity, trust, and psychological safety.
04
Impact Reporting & Integration
Findings are shared with the VBF team and, where relevant, help inform therapy protocol development, training materials, or community-facing education. Select studies may be featured on our website, in reports, or submitted to partner journals.
